Dog Sitting Driftwood

“Amazing job!!! Willow was so wonderful and communicative.”

About: My lifelong devotion to animals spans decades, beginning at age 7 when I rescued ducklings and extending through a lifetime of loving diverse companions. What sets me apart is the sheer breadth of my hands-on background. Over the years, I have personally owned and shared my life with a wide spectrum of breeds—including a Belgian Shepherd, Staffordshire Terrier, Blue Heeler, and a Miniature Schnauzer. Because I am entirely unphased by size, distinct instinctual traits, or high energy levels, I am uniquely equipped to adapt to your dog's specific personality and look after them exactly as they are. ​As a self-paced online college student, my schedule is incredibly flexible. Because I can study from anywhere, I can easily adapt my routine to fit your pet's needs right in the comfort of their own home. Whether I am house sitting or dropping in for a visit, your pet will get plenty of companionship. For dogs who love to lounge, I am happy to provide all the couch snuggles and belly rubs they can handle—they make the perfect study breaks for me! If they need 100% undivided attention or an active companion for a structured neighborhood walk, I am fully available. ​My care and deep respect extend to all family members, including independent felines—having raised both a Persian and a Maine Coon. I am also uniquely comfortable with a wide variety of animals. When you trust me to care for your home and your pets, you are getting a seasoned, versatile caretaker who honors your exact routine, respects every unique boundary, and treats your animals like family. As a self-paced online college student, my day is incredibly flexible, allowing me to fully prioritize your pet's routine. Because my coursework does not tie me down to rigid class times, I am available throughout the day for house sitting and drop-in care. I can easily adjust my schedule to align with your pet's established walking, feeding, and potty break times, ensuring they experience zero disruption while you are away. Safety and respect for boundaries are the foundations of my care. When staying in your home or dropping in, my first priority is securing the environment by ensuring doors, gates, and windows are locked tight. I closely follow all instructions regarding dietary restrictions, feeding schedules, and household rules. Because every animal communicates differently, I pay close attention to body language to ensure they feel safe and relaxed. Whether it means keeping a young pup's training routine perfectly consistent or knowing exactly where a timid cat likes to hide when meeting someone new, I manage your home and your pets with the utmost vigilance and care.

“Thank you. Your thoughtfulness and care with my animals made them very happy.”

About: Hello! My name is Jade and I would love to meet your furry friends! I started Rover a few years ago but had to stop due to time constraints from my full time job, but now I’m committing all my time to pet care. Currently, I have three cats and two dogs, who are all rescues. I’ve had both of my dogs since they were only a few months old. So I understand the trials and tribulations of puppyhood…puppy training, crate training, obedience training, and leash walking. Hiccup and Paris both love other dogs! They have experience with dogs of all sizes! Hiccup is more of a cuddler and couch potato. Paris is higher energy and loves to play. They would be so excited to have a dog come stay with them. Feel free to set up a meet and greet! I stay at home full time now and my husband also works from home. So your pet will have constant adult supervision during their stay. I have a fenced backyard and a fenced play area in my neighborhood. I also live really close to a large public park with walking trails.

About: I have owned and taken care of cats and dogs my whole life so I am very comfortable meeting different animals’ complex needs. I am also a teacher on summer break, so my current schedule is incredibly open and flexible. My weekly availability is Monday-Sunday whenever I am needed! I have my own pets at home so aside from taking care of their needs, my schedule is very open! I have done a great amount of house sitting along with watching pets so I am happy to meet any requirements for taking care of your space when I am occupying it!

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life—furred, feathered, and even aquatic—so caring for pets feels very natural to me. I raised my own dog from the time she was about 2 months old, and she’s now 5, so I have plenty of hands-on experience with puppy training, daily routines, and long-term care. I also help my boyfriend with his dogs, including caring for puppies as well as his three adult dogs, which has given me experience handling multiple dogs with different personalities at once. I’m currently a college student, but I have a very flexible schedule. I especially enjoy night time walks and early morning walks. I am adaptable and can work around any needed scheduled to ensure your pet's absolute enrichment and care. I care for pets by creating a calm, safe, and predictable environment—whether in my home a client’s, or out and about walking, while following each pet’s routine as closely as possible.

“Nadia was fantastic! She took such great care of my girls. My senior dog fell in love with her and she is very cantankerous in her old age. She always showed up on time & communication was perfect! Will definitely have her watch them again!”

About: Dependable and attentive sitter focused on keeping pets comfortable and routines consistent. I’m clean, communicative, and make sure everything runs smoothly while you’re away. I'm currently working part time and am trying to fill out more of my schedule! I have a lot of flexibility right now and want to take advantage of that to spend time petting some cute animals. I don’t offer boarding, but I prioritize a clean, safe, and calm environment when caring for pets in their home. I stick to routines and provide a steady, low-stress presence so pets feel comfortable.

“Micaela was dependable and super kind. She was super attentive to my pup and I’m sure Stormi loved her. She went out of her way to make both me and Stormi comfortable.”

About: Animals have been at the center of my world for as long as I can remember; I grew up in a family that owned cats since before I was born, and I’ve been learning how to care for them since early childhood—even hand-rearing a newborn kitten when I was just 12. Today, I care for my own two cats, look after four more for senior family members, and have regularly dog-sat a friend's Corgi for nearly two years. I'm currently working a flexible schedule. So I have plenty of opportunity to help out with your pets and whichever needs they may have. I have a great dog park at my apartment. I have all of the necessary skills and equipment to take care of your fur baby. I also have 2 cats that can keep your pet company, but I can easily isolate them if necessary.

About: I have lived with and cared for dogs and/or cats my whole life. I have pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors on many occasions. I am a college student, and I am currently on summer break, so my availability is very open at the moment. I am willing to adjust whatever schedules or plans I need to. I have pet sat for both cats and dogs. I have done overnight and drop ins, and I follow any instructions I am given to a T.

About: I have experience in several different areas I worked in an emergency pet hospital, animal clinic, animal shelters and spay and neuter clinics. I also grew up with constant pets. I have experience as a veterinarian technician and kennel tech (3 years). I'm currently a stay at home mom to a homeschooler so my schedule is fairly open I can always move things around if needed as I don't have to stick to a certain schedule. I have a fenced area in my backyard so your fur baby can always have a safe space to use the bathroom. If I'm coming to your house to care for your fur baby just let me know what you need me to do and I'll make sure to take care of it. I will respect your home and belongings.
